May 2017 16740 mi	Honda Canada took the car to CH and repaired certain manufacturing defects in an attempt to correct the cabin odour problem. So far a custom kit gas been installed to limit engine bay odours entering the cabin, the PCV hose was replaced, the timing case was removed and reinstalled. I've noticed that using Shell V Power 91 octane gas at Honda's suggestion produced immediate results. I also learnt that the 2.4L engine us now produced in Alliston. 100% of these engines are exported to the USA. None are used in the Canadian built LX. After 500kms I still have an intermittent gas odour problem. It is more pronounced with winter gas. Honda's advise was not to use Petro Canada gas and to use Shell 91 every 5000kms to clean the engine. I gave concerns about the longevity of this engine if Honda cannot or will not issue a TSB with a permanent solution . I've read that one CRV owner had his fuel injectors and O rings changed. I'm not a mechanic but ethanol seems to be at the root of the problem. I'm wondering if my engine was built in Alliston.

Honda CR-V in Florida, United States Mar 2013 - Jul 2018
Jul 2017 31000 mi	The car was dropped off for an oil change and tire rotation, etc. When I returned to pick up the car I was told that the battery had failed test and needed to be replaced. As I had had the battery replaced under warranty less than a year before, I asked what kind of problem and I had not had any difficulty starting the vehicle. They showed me the "test results", everything was fine except the battery temperature was noted to be 111 degrees F. As the battery was a warranty replacement they told me the cost would be $140.00, i.e., no warranty. First of all I pointed out that the outside temp was about 89 degrees and the engine compartment was surly somewhat over 100 degrees as a base line. They insisted that the battery failed and they strongly recommended I spend $140 as the battery had failed. That was 3 weeks ago and still no problems at all with the battery. I complained to the service department and they said they had to go by the test results. How about the warranty, I asked. I had not paid for the battery, therefor no warranty was, well, warranted. I informed them that I would be taking the vehicle to another shop, one that used their heads rather than a rule book....

Oct 2017 112000 mi	The sensor in the truck was not detecting that the hatch door was closed, so it my lights were always showing that the trunk was open. As a result, my key fob would not lock the doors (because it won't lock if it senses a door is open). For whatever reason, shutting the door was not depressing the plastic arm enough. I "repaired" this by gluing a plastic furniture pad (the kind you would put under the legs of a chair or table to protect the floor) to the arm so that closing the trunk door would depress it enough to turn off the sensor. So far so good!

After buying a new plug and coil and discovering that the new plug would not thread in I bought the Helicoil spark plug thread repair kit. Seems to be working fine. I was the last one in there, replaced the plugs at least 30k miles ago, so this was pretty surprising. Glad I didn't need to take the head off!

I tried Seafoam to see if the oil control rings were gunked up but had no success. A compression test didn't reveal anything either- 180-185psi across all 4 holes. Sold the car, bought a 4Runner.

Aug 2017 175000 mi US $1750	Honda has had an ongoing problem with Red and Black paint on their vehicles. Our 2003 CR-V has had the sealant coming off for the past several years now. Honda USA refused to do anything about it. My local dealer did notice same problem on a number of Hondas they have been servicing. They agreed to pay more than 1/3 of the cost for a Honda OEM complete paint job on our vehicle. Paint shop said it would take approx. 3 weeks, car had to be stripped down to bare metal and then paint and applications etc would follow just as if car was being painted at Honda factory. I was told this was a silent recall by another paint shop, from a manager whos daughter had same make, model and year car I have. He kicked up some dust and Honda paid for the entire paint job. I was not so lucky, but I am not complaining either. I have a niece who has a 2013 CR-V, Black in color and it is having the same problems with the paint as our 2003...
